Now I found Google Earth begin to provide the satellite photo of Shanghai Downtown.

The resolution is not higher then that of North America area. I tried to find my home on Shanghai and get a image to show how about the satellite photo of Shanghai.
You can see a car, but can not see a person.
I tried the Beijin, the persons stand on the TianAnMen square can be identified.

When I rebuild the Pentacle In-Out Board, I begin to have an opinion that the software should be free to access, download, share, and use. I learn the PHP as a website script language. The purpose to change from ASP to PHP, is because that I want to change the platform from Windows to Linux. So the programs I made can be used on top of the free platform.

After three days learning, I made my first php page, which is a Code Convertor.
It is an online tools. When I want to paste some HTML code into my webpage or blog, I can use this tools to convert the original HTML code to some code can be displayed on the page.
I call it CoCo.

It is not perfect. It is just a begining. I will learn more and program more free software.

Formats a string using URL encoding. This is a static method.

Syntax
urlEncode( text )

text
The input string to be formatted.

Usage
This method will format a string using URL encoding. The formatted string is returned from this method and the original string is not modified. This method is useful for encoding strings that contain any URL reserved characters so they can be used as part of a URL.

The example below encodes a string that is used as a query string parameter in a URL.

var sUrl = "http://localhost/app?user=" + Server.urlEncode("john doe");

Response.write(sUrl);

The example above produces the following output.

http://localhost/app?user=john+doe

This function is very usefull, when used in the url transfering string which including space and special character like &.

Our site is connected through the Shaw Cable.
I trusted Shaw Cable periodically change the IP address assigned to their clients. Normally it is one year.

The IP address of server was changed on December 5 noon. I changed DNS settings accordantly. The DNS settings need about 24 hours to 72 hours to synchroniz the settings to all aroung the world ( Internet world ).

Updated:
It is 9:49PM pacific time Dec. 7, 2005. Part of the world can get this site correctly. The remains are still resolved the old ip address and show the error message.
